I hope Clarkson is on the trade list by 4/3. Why let him leave for nothing?

How much money is he really going to make if he goes free agent?? He's crashed down to earth and his value low.

I just heard on the pre game that he probably lost some teeth, atleast its nothing too serious.. Not that I like the guy but you never wana see this type of stuff happen to players makes me grunge thinking about it

And for all your grunge related news and notes be sure to check out GrungeReport.net. (This post might get deleted for advertsting but I am the head reporter there and this was timely haha)

Also I don't think we are getting another roster player at this point...if we trade a defenseman its gonna be for picks. Which could be best considering we gave up a bunch of draft picks to get Lokti, D'Agostini and Poni. As far as Clarkson goes...I wouldn't be worried until he gets an extension and plays like this. I think at this point this is all money related. Invisble until he gets an extension and then Clarky will perform like we are used to seeing last year and earlier this year

I just got an alert from ESPN that Crosby is out due to a broken jaw.

If you haven't seen it, it was a hard slap shot right to the face, no deflection or anything. Yikes

pens are pretty damaged all of a sudden. martin was the shut down guy for goals against, their goalies sure as sh!t won't stop the goals so they may start losing some games. let's see how fragile they are .

Really doesn't solve the scoring woes but man would it be fun to trade for Steve Ott. Ott, Clarkson, Zubrus, Poni, Kosto, Bernier... That would be a big group of boys that could really wear down an opposing defense. Plus then I could actually like Ott.

Stafford would be a nice addition since Kovy is unknown and can provide more offense than D'Agostini, I've wanted him on the Devils for years now. Decent scoring insurance if Clarkson bails this offseason too.

Problem is that if the Devils retain Clarkson, he and Kovalchuk are the top two RWs, so Stafford doesn't make sense...unless Kovy goes back go LW.

I'm really hoping the Devils do some major trades and shake up the team. Why on earth do they seem complacent after coming so close to all the glory last season? you would think in this shortened season it would drive them to win it all.

I realize that as long as they make the playoffs it's a whole new game, but still. Lou needs to shake up the team a bit and bring in some new major faces to revitalize the team and hopefully go all the way.

Thing is, if Lou really wants to reshape the team, blowing it up only makes sense if it's another Arnott-Nieuwy type deal. Those are tough to pull off.
